Abstract excerpt

We have examined the combinatorial effect of five trans-acting modifiers of white apricot, a copia retrotransposon-induced allele of the white eye-color gene. Quantitation of steady-state levels of copia transcripts for various modifier combinations at different developmental stages using norther...
